If the cache.log contains nothing, your next best hope is a core dump
if it crashed. Debian is one of the OS which disable the production of
core dumps by default, so the info is likely to not exist.

I advise moving up to a more recent 3.1 release whatever the problem
was. 3.1.14 was the last release with major security problems found and
yours appears to be a custom build older than that.
